The Lady Magazine

Here it is - the venerable London institution that is: The Lady. One of the oldest and most respected magazines it has two distinct reputations. The first, is as a publication read by maiden aunts in their dotage. The second (coincidentally contradictory) is as the single best place to look for adverts for a holiday home or a nanny.

That is why I got lucky looking for a cottage in norfolk to rent for a few days. I've used them many times (although four or five decades below their assumed readership age) and I've never been let down. So you see, there WAS a connection.

(By the way, I'mm not really back, just flying through at a rate of knots, have a happy easter)

Ohh the Lady. Used to get this a lot. Way back when. Very pretty offices befitting the mag! You're right about the rep. though i was neither a maiden aunt nor looking for a nanny or holiday home. I wrote a few things for them. lol.

I'm an iranian & I persue your splendid weblog every other day from Tehran......It's reali marvelous when we can observe London with your eyes!

I'm currently looking for an issue I used to have that contained an article on collecting hyacinth glasses. It was some years ago, possibly the 1980s or 1990s. Does anyone know which issue it was, or where I can get a copy of the article, pretty please??

Hope you don't mind me asking here, but I was googling for *The Lady*.
